The dinners and lunches are exceptional - a lot of local fish - but the chef nearly always has something exciting for meat etc too. I've had some superlative veggie meals there. Style I guess is mediterraneanish maybe but fusion definitely. It's open all day but not Sundays which is a bind. Try not to go downstairs for your meal though. They've tried their best but it is a bit dark.

Plenty of wood and other natural furnishings. The food was simple, but so well-cooked and tasty. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful and the whole eating experience was great.

The road it is on does not lead you to believe that it will be a particularly classy place, but once you are inside you could be anywhere. We ordered the Meze and were served with masses of delicious food. I ate so much I was actually in need of a lie down! It is a little pricey at £20 a head (no drinks) but it is well worth it and on a Wednesday they do an offer where you get a bottle of wine inc in the meal price. Oh and desert is included (not that I could fit it in). The food was a really good quality and the atmosphere is lovely.

We had a lovely meal here out first afternoon in Bournemouth and it was well worth the visit…read more Excellent vegetarian options, and big portions. The meze starter was fantastic and enough to be a full meal. They do a full meze(vegetarian options too!) for the very hungry that looked fantastic. Food was delicious and full of flavour. The service was attentive and helpful without being overbearing. This appears to be a family run place and you can see the amount of care and love they put into it.

This is our first meal in Great Britain and I must confess that wanted to give this place 5 stars…read more But the critic in me whispered "its only new place, in a new country, ran by some very nice people...dont be seduced." So because the voice is many times correct, i decided to give this glorious little cafe in Bournmouth 4.5 Stars over all. So we were not too hungry but stopped in because I wanted a coffee. Krista had the French Onion Soup, (they had no problem preparing it to her specifications), and Tart Flambée. I had Salmon Rillets with pickled fennel. Everything was perfect. The service was spot on. The toilet was clean, the bartender was attentive. Even the conversation of the party next to us was intelligent and thoughtful. Everyone was extremely polite. Its a bit pricey when your on a budget. So expect to pay a bit more. By the way. The coffee was amazing.

During the day this is a great place for coffee. You get pastries with the coffee (no, not loads)…read more Their lunch menu is rather mouthwatering, pastas, salads, pizza, panini. Scrummy. You get hungry just looking at it or smelling it. In the evening, it all becomes a bit disappointing. The flavours are a bit dull, nothing is very inspiring. However, the wine is served in large glasses so everything, in the end seems less of a let down, especially if you're not paying. They used to have a sofa near the kitchen door, but since they took it away, we hardly go there. Loos are clean!

I test a restaurant on its Risotto when available and as an expert in its preparation give it 8 out 10. My companions steaks were pretty good, one was perfect. The Rhumbaba desert was excellent and the Plum Clafoutis met the mark. You can dine here with confidence. Good ambiance helped by staff vibe.
